Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2829621A1] Provided is a method for producing hematite for ironmaking, wherein high purity hematite, which can be used as an iron-making raw material, is cheaply and efficiently recovered from a leach residue containing iron oxide produced by a high pressure acid leach (HPAL) process. This method for producing (high purity) hematite for ironmaking in a process of adding a mineral acid and an oxidant to ore containing iron and valuable metals and then leaching the valuable metals under high pressure and high temperature includes (1) a neutralization step of adding a neutralizer to a leachate obtained under high pressure and high temperature to form a leach slurry, (2) a solid-liquid separation step of separating the leach slurry obtained in the neutralization step (1) into a leach residue and the leachate, and (3) a classification step of classifying the leach residue into the hematite and gangue components.
